Abstract
The implementation of the Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2016) in the province of Ontario has led to 121 closure recommendations by 2017 (People for Education, 2017). As these schools are scheduled to close, twenty-one new schools have been scheduled to open. These schools are expected receive the students displaced by the closures (People for Education, 2017). This study aims to conceptualize the phenomenon of school closures using the notion of “power geometry” (Massey, 2005). Despite its significance for the provision of, and access to, public education in Ontario, research on school closures is surprisingly scarce. Our review of the literature identified a few studies (n=12) conducted between 2000 and 2012. Aiming to revitalize the debate and scholarly interest in this phenomenon, this study aims to: 1. Propose a conceptual framework to investigate the phenomenon of school closures in the province of Ontario and invoking the novel consideration of the role of geographic space in this process; 2. Situate the phenomenon of school closures in the context of larger socio political processes in the province; 3. Identify other phenomena associated to school closures in Ontario.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
